Is lifeleech salvageable? Or will it be garbage no matter what because something that relies on you being able to attack while taking damage is fundamentally flawed?

Learn to make the most of it. If the enemy is memeing at you with disables, gear up with counter-spells.

>>155147620
i think it will even be nerfed next patch

i tried drums on some agi cores and it wasnt that bad but if they have like +5 regen instead of 3 i think they would be legit as fuck

also vlads might get nerfed again becuase of how popular it is

i think next patch we might end up with even more actual items that allow you to sustain and do more than just that, but of course dominator will stay core on ancient clearing heroes etc but casual morbid masks are so fucking bad it hurts

back when you started playing the main strat that every single team at ti followed was this:
>pick pushing heroes
>suicide at their towers until there are no towers left

dotards actually tought thats some uber high skill shit too, it was hilarious, because it actually was, there was no counter to it the game was never this figured out

thats why rubber band exists my man and its a good thing it does

when you have a lead its harder to die so you get punished for it, it makes sense

Why is there not any good Dota streamers? Bulldog is the only decent one and he only streams for a few hours a day.

Consider it an extra rule that the first house on the left is a massive kike and will keep everything for themselves

>>155148838
Get something that can delay games as much as possible so your retarded team is too fat to fail. Among many 2ks can't do 3 things, close games, deal with split push and breach highground without suiciding with no buy backs. Ember spirit is perfect for all of this, he split pushes hard, with bf you are already pain in the ass to go highground vs and late game you hit hard.

You can go morphling and replicate enemy fat carry to your advantage, you can go sniper and def highground forever, you can go slark and kill enemy under farmed cores/supports while still being able to push and shit like this, maybe even a lycan. Also go mid and win it hard, people there can't lane and no matter what role you play playing mid will benefit them all.

>>155152153
Consider the fact that they are just wires and pipes beneath the ground and the owner of the first house has no control of it

That was another thing, last time I tried him I had no idea what I was doing, but if it's a right clicking contest he is a pretty strong mid early on.

Lmao. Every day, every day this shitty studio's audio is out of sync. Every day they miss 3/4 of the draft or even the entire drafting phase. Every day, ching chong Merlini is dirty and disheveled while casting, unshowered and unkempt because of his refusal to shower and his dedication to mouthbreathing. Every day the fat jew David "LD" Gormanberg is a fat jew, fat and a jew. Every day GoDz sucks the tiny cock of the Chinese dota scene just a little bit harder, desperately hoping for the Chinese load to be shot deep into his throat while trying to look "cool" with his awful pedophile mustache. Every day, Zyori "S N I F F B O Y" sniffs his dirty scrotum on camera, misses early teamfights and wears a pink bow in his disgusting, terrible "hair". Every single day this goes on, and you people eat it up. You love it. This is absolutely disgusting. I'm disgusted and I hate every single one of you, every single miscreant that donated to this horrid studio's kickstarter, every single retard that watches their streams without AdBlock, every single fan of this atrocious, revolting, insulting excuse for a "studio".

Why are carries so overpowered in this game? Like a bad carry is still more useful than a good support. Free wards and passive gold generation items when?

multiboxing is detected and flags you

flags are worse than behavior score

>>155157874
it's the equivalent of building butterfly on PA but without being double countered by mkb
also the fact that abyssal doesnt give 100 damage now makes it better

>>155158183
PPD retired because being a pro is unstable as fuck income and he can already live pretty comfortably as he is now

>>155158232

Then what the fuck else is there to buy on PA? I know Butterfly is shit because of meme king bar but once you have your deso, vlads, abby and bkb then what item do you finish it off with?

>>155157359
there are like 3 streamers in the entire twitch who make enough money to justify not getting an education and building a career instead.

Of course this does not count Advertisement, subs and sponsors.

Streaming is serious money.

with 5k viewers you can make a decent living (5k+/month) if you push the donation and sub thing

>>155158336
PA as it is now is supposed to end the game by 30-35 minutes specially with the deso+vlads build, you shouldnt even get to a full 5 item slot/25k NW before ending the game, only a full abysall with deso for value damage and vlads for sustain

Protip for low MMR. Go riki and buy a radiance. Kills them dead everytime. They dont know why theyre losing ho and missing attacks

>>155158807
taxes cut every donation.

>>155158814
which is totally not a lie by twitch to promote streaming.

there are only a select few who make all the money and thousands of daydreamers wasting time.

>>155157874
le blink strike gives enough AS for 4 hits is sufficient in the lategame meme xd
if you don't need a mkb, and you are not ready to trade deso for satanic or skadi, then AC is fine as a fifth/sixth item
its either that or moonshard
the typical five/six slotted PA build looks like this
boots
deso
vlads/vanguard
bkb
mkb/ac
satanic/deso/skadi
aegis/tpscroll
a lvl 25 PA has 20~ armor and +5 if you built vlads/haven't sold it yet. Throw an enemy deso/ac/any -armor spell at her and she can easily drop down to 10-15 armor, which puts her EHP much lower than you want it to(assuming the enemy carry has mkb at that point)

You build a brand and a following that will follow you regardless, this is a very valuable asset. You also have no idea the amount of connections you get being a streamer, going to events, similar to most tech career paths in fact.

Two things:
1) James. We've had issues with James at previous events. Some Valve people lobbied to bring him back for Shanghai, feeling that he deserved another chance. That was a mistake. James is an ass, and we won't be working with him again.
2) As long as we're firing people, we are also firing the production company that we've been working with on the Shanghai Major. They will be replaced, and we hope to get this turned around before the main event.

>all this confusion

james got fired because he made fun of EE directly, calling him a retard and more. EE complained, EE's sponsors complained and EE's team complained.

Imagine if a football commentator called a quarterback a "retard" for throwing an interception. Instantly fired.

He knew what was appropriate and what was not and chose to stretch the limits, got fired.
